Biography

Anthony Bonine is the descendant of a Huguenot emigrant.

Anthony North Bonine was born on 23 February 1854 on his parents' farm in Perry Township, Dallas County, Iowa, USA. He was the son of Clark Bonine, b: 1814 in Indiana Territory, and his 2nd wife, Roena (Rogers) Bonine, b: 1822 in Pennsylvania. They had married on 5 Feb 1843 in DeWitt County, Illinois. The family then moved to Dallas County, Iowa, shortly before Anthony was born.[1]

Anthony's father died on 1 July 1856 when Anthony was only 2 years old. His mother remarried to widower Nathaniel P. McKean shortly before Anthony's 4th birthday. They had a farm in Spring Valley Township, Dallas, Iowa. On the 1860 US Census, Anthony N. Bonine was recorded as 6 years old, living in a farm household headed by his older sister, Delphina Bonine, age 16, along with 3 siblings: Martha E. Bonine: 14; Walter Bonine: 12, and Luther Bonine, 4 years old. Their mother, Roene McKean, 38, was living next-door with her new husband and his 5 youngest children, plus their own baby: Clarissa C. McKean, 1 year old. Other family members lived on neighboring farms. [2]

Ten years later, the 1870 US Census recorded Anthony Bonine as 16 years old, living with his mother, widowed a 2nd time in 1863, "Raena McKean," 44 years old, on their farm in Spring Valley Township, Dallas County, Iowa. Anthony was running the farm. Helen Foot, a 21-year-old "Housekeeper" and her 2 infant children (Clara: 2 yrs.; Silas: 3 mo.) lived with them. Helen's husband was a "Farm Laborer" on George McKean's farm next door (George McKean was Roena (Bonine) McKean's step-son). [3]

On 11 November 1875, at the Dallas County Courthouse, Anthony Bonine married Miss Ella Margaret Ege. [4] Ella had been born in 1855 in Wisconsin, the daughter of William Sheaff Ege, 1834–1913, and his wife, Eliza J. (Thomas) Ege, 1837-1908. They had married on 22 Feb 1854 in Wisconsin.[5]

As soon as they married in Iowa, Anthony and Ella (Ege) Bonine, moved north to Centerville, Turner County, Dakota Territory, USA. This area became the state of South Dakota on 2 Nov. 1889. Anthony's older half-brother William Seth Bonine had homesteaded in nearby Lincoln County, Dakota Territory, shortly before 1875. Anthony and Ella had 5 sons, all in South Dakota:[6]

  1. Roy St. Clair Bonine, 1876–1931
  2. George Earl Bonine, 1878–1948
  3. Oyer Clark Bonine, 1881–1951
  4. Floyd William Bonine, 1882–1959
  5. William Clark Bonine, 1886–1952

On the 1880 US Census, Anthony Bonine was recorded as a 26-year-old Farmer, married to Ella (Ege) Bonine. They and their 2 oldest sons: Roy, 3; and George: 2; were living in Township 96, Range 52, Turner County, Dakota Territory. [7]

On the 1900 US Census, "A.W. Bonine" [sic= A.N. Bonine - typo] was recorded as a "Livery Stable Keeper". He was born in February 1854; married to Ella Bonine, b: Sep 1855, and living with her and their 4 sons on Broadway Street, Centerville Township, Centerville City, Ward 1-3, Turner County, South Dakota, USA. The Census further recorded that the couple had been married 24 years (Nov. 1875) and that Ella Bonine had had 4 sons, all of whom were still living as of 1 June 1900. They were: Roy Bonine, b: Sep 1876; George: b: Feb 1878; Floyd: b: Apr 1882; and Willie, b: Feb 1886. [8]

Between 1901 and 1905, Anthony N. Bonine and Ella Margaret (Ege) Bonine were divorced, doubtlessly in South Dakota although no record has been found. On the April 15, 1910 US Census, Ella Bonine was recorded as 54 years old, divorced, Head of Household, living with her youngest son, William Bonine, age 24, in Centerville city, Turner County, South Dakota. She owned their home and was said to "Have Own Income". William Bonine was a "Baker" at the city bakery. [9]

Ten years later, Ella Bonine was recorded still living with her now 34-year-old son, William C. Bonine, in Centerville, Turner, South Dakota. He was now a "Garage Manager" and she had "No Occupation".[10]

On the 1915 South Dakota Census, Ella (Ege) Bonine was listed as 59-year-old "Margaret E. Bonine". She was living in Centerville, Turner County, South Dakota. She declared herself of "German origins" and stated that she was of the "Dutch Reformed" faith. [11]

Anthony N. Bonine's 1910 US Census record has not been found and he was not recorded on either the 1905 or 1915 South Dakota Census reports, indicating he had left the state in the early 1900s, most-likely as his marriage fell apart. His wife probably divorced him for "desertion".

On the 1 January 1920 US Census, Anthony N. Bonine was recorded in California as a 65-year-old man. He was living with his older brother: Walter B. Bonine, age 71, in San Diego city, San Diego County, California. He claimed to be a Widower [sic= his wife did not die until 1930]. Walter Bonine was Single. He had lived in Dallas County, Iowa, with their mother, Roena (Rogers) Bonine, until her death in 1908. The brothers owned their house on "Z" Street, near S. 37th Street, San Diego. Both men declared themselves to be "House Carpenters" (i.e., builders).[12]

Sometime in the 1920s Walter B. Bonine left California, moving to Beresford, Lincoln County, South Dakota. In February 1927, shortly before his 79th birthday (4 Mar 1927), he fell through an open basement doorway in the dark and died of his injuries. He was buried at the Bonine Cemetery, Lincoln County, South Dakota, USA.[13]

Anthony N. Bonine has not been located on the 1930 US Census. Sometime before 1935, he had moved to Laredo, Webb County, Texas, USA. He was recorded there on the 1 April 1940 US Census as 85 years old, Widowed, "Unable to Work," living in either the St. Paul or Exchange Hotel in "Block 290" of Justice Precinct 1, Laredo Ward 4, Webb, Texas, USA. This seems to have been a hostel for the elderly or indigent, run by the "Sisters of Don Bosco". His birth data was mistakenly written as "1855 in North Dakota".[14]

Anthony North Bonine passed away on 20 April 1942 in Laredo, Webb County, Texas, USA. His last residence was 2018 Farragut Street, Laredo, Texas. His Texas death certificate # 70919 states he died of Iles - Colitis or Ulcerative Colitis. Contributory factors: Old age, Malnutrition, Orchitis and 3rd degree burns. Burned 3 weeks ago on leg and thigh. He was 86 yrs., 1 mo., 27 days old. [sic= 88 yrs., 1 mo., 27 days]. Birth date: 23 Feb. 1856 [sic=23 Feb. 1854]. Birth location: Centerville, South Dakota [sic=Dallas, Iowa].[15] Anthony's remains were shipped to relatives in South Dakota and he was buried at the Riverview Cemetery, Centerville, Turner County, South Dakota, USA.[16]

According to the obit. published in the Casper Star-Tribune, Casper, Wyoming, 11 Nov 1951, page 12: "O. C. Bonine was born Oct. 31, 1881 at Beresford, S.D. The family moved to Minneapolis, where he was graduated from high school. He enlisted for service in the Spanish-American war at the age of 16. In 1903 he came from the state of Washington to join a cousin, the late O. C. Morgan, in the Big Horn basin, where he at first engaged in driving a stage. Later his father, "Judge" J. M. Bonine, Worland's first justice of the peace, a brother, Harry, who became a justice of the peace and was clerk of the district court when he died, and a sister, Mrs. Katherine Ludlow Willis, joined him in Worland. All were prominent in the early history of the community." Anthony and Ella had four sons. Oyer was the son of John Marion Bonine.
